The biggest damage is that the Berishes have tried and succeeded to some extent to give the Albanian state its face, as thieves, brazen and rapists for their trouble. Not even sparing the cousins.
Ekrem Spahia has justified his position as deputy minister in the Berisha government only for the fact that he exposed Sali Berisha in the government meeting regarding the amendment of the law on sports, only in one article, to allow the Begeja family to privatize the "Partizani" Club. .
In the fall of 2007, the law was changed and it was decided that sports facilities and when they are rented, or in long-term use, their destination should not be changed.
This article had destroyed all the plans of the Berisha family for the privatization of Partizani Club and had enraged Sali Berisha when he found out about it. For this reason, 8 months later, in the summer of 2008, Ylli Pango urgently proposes that the sports facilities that are returned to the owners, do not preserve the destination. Those that do not belong to the owners keep. That is how he made up for a part of the mistake.
Ekrem Spahia, completely unaware of the plans of the Berisha family, asks Berisha without any harm why we need to make this change, since we changed it eight months ago.
And there Sali Berisha explodes, calling what happened a dirty conspiracy, dirty lobbying against the owners, etc.
He just wanted to scare everyone from opposing him. This detail actually makes Prime Minister Sali Berisha active in this history of corruption, beyond the passive corruption status given to him by SPAK.
Ekrem was greatly perplexed, and of course retreated by the objection that he could not be part of the conspiracy, which he was not. From the minutes of the government meeting cited by SPAK, it is still not clear who the saboteur of the law is, but it seems that Ylli Pango has tried to urgently correct him, to atone for the mistake of lack of vigilance.
This is a flagrant case when Prime Minister Sali Berisha personally proposed a legal change that would directly favor his daughter and son-in-law in obtaining a dubious property.
What stands out from the beginning to the end of the investigation file of SPAK is that through corrupt acts, the Berisha family, in addition to their assets of millions of euros, has also produced a caste of officials and specialists incriminated in their service, the careers of who are dictated by the way they have behaved with their corrupt projects.
Let us take as an illustration only the Partizani Club file.
Specialists who received the file in the agency of privatization, or property restitution, were rewarded with high tasks as soon as they completed the mission.
The members of the KKRT of Tirana, which was led by the Democratic Party, due to the law that the government had the majority, and who lobbied to be removed from the sports area and given a construction permit, have directly benefited from apartments and careers afterwards.
Minister Fatmir Mediu has created all the possible facilities for them, even through falsifications or ignorance, just like in Gërdec, so that they benefited in an unfair and illegal privatization process. It has been rewarded and they are still loyal.
Gazmend Oketa is involved under pressure to pressure subordinates and the responsible general to sign. He is forced to tell them that he is doing it on orders from above. It was enough to push him away, because he didn't do it with his heart. The word went to Berisha and he removed Oketa as well.
Arben Imami, until that time, was a black sheep in the DP, that Berisha had hired in his antechamber as chief of cabinet, without any importance.
He seems to have understood the impasse of the Berisha family to hijack the Partizani Club, seeing the letters that came and went, and he has taken it upon his children that he does it. He suddenly became a deputy in 2009 and Minister of Defense. And closed the proceedings.
Then you have a number of small officials or ordinary specialists who have served in special circles, who have been rewarded with important positions, and others who have resisted, who have left power.
So the way the Albanian state administration has reacted to the robbery plans of the Berisha family has become a standard for their career.
The same thing happened later with Gërdec and 21 January. Every official who has opposed or rejected Gërdec has been abandoned and those who have supported him have continued their careers in politics.
January 21 as well. Even Ndrea Prendi is rewarded.
All the big companies that had Argita Berisha as a consultant, as noted in the file, were companies that needed Sali Berisha's firm for concessions. All of her official incomes, we don't know about the unofficial ones yet, are practically corruption taxes that foreign companies have paid to the Berisha family to invest in Albania.
He practically ambushed foreign investors with his daughter. Those who accepted won. Others like Ansar, the Pakistani businessman who demanded a TPP in Porto Romano and refused to pay 3 percent, were tamed and blackmailed.
So the main damage that the Berisha family has done to the Albanian state is not that it has extorted money, benefiting from millions of euros.
The biggest damage is that the Berishes have tried and succeeded to some extent to give the Albanian state its face, as thieves, brazen and rapists for their trouble. Not even sparing the cousins.
Today I saw Sali Berisha come out to count her daughter's millions of euros and justify them as family solidarity. Are you saying that someone is questioning the unity of the Berisha family to share the money extorted from the Albanians?
The problem that Albania has with Sali Berisha and his family is that he introduced the culture of submitting the state to a mafia family in power, turning officials into servants of the mafia family as a condition for their careers, and rewarding and punishing every official or the politician, judge or statesman depending on the behavior towards the Family. They tried to give the Albanian state their face. Like every mafia family does.
